“Don’t put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington
Don’t put your daughter on the stage
The profession is overcrowded
And the struggle’s pretty tough
And admitting the fact she’s burning to act
That isn’t quite enough
She’s a big girl and though her teeth are fairly good
She’s not the type I ever would be eager to engage
I repeat, Mrs. Worthington, sweet Mrs. Worthington
Don’t put your daughter on the stage.”

Noel Coward (1899–1973) English playwright, composer, director, actor and singer

Mrs Worthington (1933).

Is going to get married next Sunday, they say
Now what will I buy her? She's such a nice girl.

Only ninety-five guineas. I'll have it sent round.”
